**** Hazard Info ****
Possible Impacts
Runoff from higher elevations. Soil erosion/land slippage on exposed or scarred land surfaces. Water settlements on roads and fields. Adjustments to water levels of existing water bodies (ponds etc.). Large objects or debris from higher elevations becoming embedded within fast moving water flows. Flooding at the foot of hillsides and coastal roads. Delays on traffic routes with some roads being impassable.
What you should do
-The public should follow recommendations from the department of emergency management and monitor the BMS, DEM and GIS websites and their respective social media pages along with the local media networks for further updates.
Discussion
As the shearline continues to affect the island throughout the afternoon, a few additional heavy to intense showers and thunderstorms are possible. With this activity, additional rainfall accumulations of around 25 mm are forecast. In light of the already saturated soils, this is likely to generate pockets of flooding across the island. Therefore, the Barbados Meteorological Services has issued a Flash Flood Watch.
General Information
A flash-flood watch is issued when heavy or excessive rainfall in a short period of time (generally less than 6 hours) could result in flash flooding within the watch area. It does not mean that flooding will occur, but it is possible.
This Flash Flood Watch was issued at 11:50 am Monday 9th September 2024 and will be updated/terminated 6:00 pm Monday 9th September 2024 or sooner if conditions warrant.
